How to Prepare for Your Newborn Photo Session: Tips for a Perfect Shoot

A newborn photo session is a beautiful way to capture the early moments of your baby’s life. These photos will become timeless treasures, not only for you but for your children as they grow older. Here’s everything you need to know to ensure your newborn session is seamless and unforgettable.

Here’s everything you need to know to ensure your photo session is seamless and unforgettable.

1. Choose the Right Time

For the best newborn experience, I recommend scheduling your session when your baby is 7-14 days old. During this time, your baby is still in their sleepy, curled-up stage, which makes it easier to pose them in those precious, peaceful moments. They are also typically more settled and easier to photograph at this age.

Tip: The earlier you book, the better, as newborn sessions are best scheduled in advance.

2. Outfit Selection for Your Baby

I provide a wide range of beautiful wraps for your baby, as I do not use outfits for newborn photos. Even if you bring an outfit, we will only use it solely for family photos. This helps keep the focus on your baby’s natural beauty and the simplicity of the newborn stage.

3. Family Outfit Suggestions

For family photos, my advice is to wear neutral outfits, preferably in plain, simple colours without prints or logos. This ensures the focus remains on your little one and creates a timeless look.

Because I want to maintain a high level of hygiene and safety in the studio, we’ll need to take our shoes off at the entrance. However, if you’d like to appear in the photos wearing shoes, please bring them separately, and we can incorporate them into the shoot.

4. Bring your essentials

Please bring along milk, a pacifier, and diapers to ensure your baby stays comfortable during the session.

What will the photo session be like?

Duration of the photo session

The photo session lasts approximately 3 hours, depending on the package chosen.

Edited Photos

The number of photos you receive depends on the package you choose or how many extra photos you buy and will be delivered in jpeg format via an online link within 20 working days from the selection made. The photo will be edited as it is shown on the website. If you wish to receive your photos within 72 hours of selection, a fee of £99 will be charged.

Extra photos

If you want more photos, you can upgrade to a higher package or buy additional digital photos at £15 each. If you want to buy the whole unedited gallery, it costs £300 and can only be purchased after you have bought a package.

After the photo session

After the photo session, I will send you an online gallery within 1-4 days. The photos in the gallery will be unedited, and you can select your favourites based on your package. These unedited photos will not be downloadable and will have a transparent logo on them. Once you’ve made your selection, I will edit the chosen photos and send you the final, high-quality images.

Editing

The processing of the photos consists of post-processing, which includes corrections to tone, exposure, contrast, brightness, saturation, and cropping in my opinion. I will retouch the photos as I deem necessary and as a characteristic of my style. Client requests such as makeup/hair mistakes, change of background/outfits and thinning, are not included and can be done separately for a fee.
